PHP 4.4.5 Release Announcement

The PHP development team would like to announce the immediate availability of
PHP 4.4.5. This release is a stability and security enhancement of the 4.4.X
branch, and all users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to it as soon as
possible.

The majority of the security vulnerabilities discovered and resolved can in
most cases be only abused by local users and cannot be triggered remotely.
However, some of the above issues can be triggered remotely in certain
situations, or exploited by malicious local users on shared hosting setups
utilizing PHP as an Apache module. Therefore, we strongly advise all users of
PHP, regardless of the version to upgrade to 4.4.5 release as soon as possible.
PHP 5.2.1 with equivalent security corrections is available as well.

In addition to the security fixes, this release includes a number of
non-security related bug fixes.
